Affordable Holiday Gift Ideas for the Healthy Living Foodie in Your Life

Looking for great, affordable holiday gift ideas for the healthy living foodie in your life? I’ve got you covered with this rundown of some of my favorite products of 2023 – from chocolate and glassware to a yoga towel mat and smart water bottle! 

The holiday season is upon us! This is one of my favorite times of year and I’m soaking up the Christmas magic with my family.

With Thanksgiving behind us and the month of December starting in just a few days, it’s time to think about holiday gift ideas for the loved ones that you did not yet nab a gift for. If you haven’t finished holiday shopping yet (I know I haven’t!), today I’m sharing some fun, affordable holiday gift ideas for the healthy lifestyle loving foodie in your life.

This list features some of my favorite products that I’ve been using in 2023 – a few of which I’ve been using for a bunch of years – all of which are $75 or less. I hope that it includes the perfect something for the healthy foodie on your gift list!

Affordable Holiday Gift Ideas for the Healthy Foodie in Your Life

Seattle Chocolate

For the chocolate lover in your life, Seattle Chocolate is the perfect little something to finish off your gift box or bag, or as a stocking stuffer. With truffle bar offerings that include Candy Cane Crunch, Peanut Butter Crisp, and Spiced Hot Chocolate (their seasonal truffle trio bars are currently retailing at $18.99), a variety of truffle bags (my favorite of which is their mint; currently $13.99), and adorable gift boxes, they’re chocolate heaven. Everything I’ve tried is delicious!

In fact, for Thanksgiving I made a chocolate board with a variety of their flavors and it was so fun.

Seattle Chocolate’s branding is eye-catching, further making their bars a nice gift. Plus, this woman-owned company is committed to giving back and feeding hungry families. They’re a chocolate company you can feel good about supporting.

Aurorae Yoga Mat Towel

For the yogi in your life, check out Aurorae’s Synergy Hot Yoga Mat. It’s my absolute favorite yoga mat! In fact, I included Aurorae in a gift guide a bunch of years ago… and I still use mine on the daily. It’s a towel and mat rolled in one, so I don’t constantly slip while doing yoga, Pilates or core work.

Aurorae’s Synergy Hot Yoga Mat currently retails for $59-69 on Amazon.

Water H Smart Water Bottle

A unique product in my gift guide is the Water H Smart Water Bottle. We all know that staying hydrated is so important, and Water H helps users easily track water intake. Equipped with an app that tracks your daily intake, reminds you to drink, and offers tidbits such as the volume of your water bottle and water quality level, it’s the perfect cool tech gift for the health buff in your life.

The Water H bottle retails for $59.95 (though at the moment you can also get 25% off).

 

Runamok Maple Syrup

With unique flavors like salted caramel, banana rum, and royal cinnamon infused maple syrups, Runamok is an awesome high-quality syrup brand that’s family-owned and based in Vermont.

I also can’t forget to mention their cool sparkle syrup! They also recently expanded in the world of honeys, and they have some great gift boxes starting at $31.95 for the foodie in your life. I just nabbed one for a family member who also loves the brand.

Modestine Stress Relief Tea

I’m a big tea lover and believe in the power of a hot cup of tea in aiding in optimal health and wellness, so it’s no surprise that tea made it into my gift guide. Modestine is a brand focused on supporting women in their wellness journey through organic teas. Their Don’t Stress Me tea is a great blend of green rooibos, lemongrass, lemon myrtle, eucalyptus, and tulsi, meant to provide daily stress relief (retailing at $17.50).

Sip to reduce anxiety and maintain a healthy immune system; and to enjoy relief from colds, coughs and flu-like symptoms – something we all need during wintertime!

Biossance Skincare

One important and sometimes overlooked component to a healthy lifestyle is taking care of our skin – especially as we age. One of my favorite skincare brands is Biossance. My go-to products in Biossance’s award-winning clean skincare line are their Squalane & Vitamin C Rose Oil ($74 regularly priced) and Squalane + Omega Repair Cream ($60). I use both products every night!

I also want to mention that their products last a long time. I recently ran out of the rose oil bottle that I bought over the holidays last year!

Scoozee Glass Set

Like many healthy lifestyle buffs, I’m a big smoothie drinker. And drinking out of nice glassware is a small daily pleasure! This affordable Scoozee glass set comes with four glasses made out of borosilicate glass that are perfect for iced coffee, smoothies, kombucha, etc., along with bamboo lids, glass straws, two straw cleaners and two coasters (currently on Amazon for $18!).

Bellissima Sparkling Wine

If the fit foodie in your life is a sparkling wine fan, check out Bellissima. Their wines are 100% organic, certified vegan, and they also have zero sugar options. I particularly like their DOC Brut and Zero Sugar Sparkling White Wine. Bellissima also supports some wonderful causes, including a tree planting initiative and animal rescue organization.

Three bottles of Bellissima Prosecco is currently retailing for $74. What better way to celebrate the holidays than with some champs!

Upton Tea Imports Wellness Set 

Another tea brand I’ve been sipping on lately is Upton Tea Imports. The premium loose leaf tea brand offers a Wellness Tea Set that includes Apple Mint Valerian to aid in sleep and peppermint tea to improve digestion.

    I’ve got to check out that smart water bottle! I always mean to drink more water than I do and I think that would help me stay on track.

    Wow – that water bottle is unique for sure! And we are HUGE fans of Runamok here. In fact, we gave their syrup to family members for Christmas on a number of occasions. You always find the most unique Christmas gift ideas – thanks so much for sharing!! Also, chocolate board. Yes, please.

School’s out for my little girl ☀️& here are 4️⃣ screen-free tools that I’m using to keep my 6 year old busy and learning when we’re home this summer: 

1️⃣ @mondaymandala’s awesome array of free digital printables on just about anything you can think of 🖍️

2️⃣ @youngwildandfriedman’s amazing sensory kits that are high-quality and last forever. I have purchased a serious amount of these play dough and sensory sand kits over the years & they are worth every penny! My kiddo will spend hours setting up all of the little trinkets and building little play dough towns.

3️⃣ @Canva’s printable educational worksheets ✏️ For instance, I printed out money worksheets & am planning on doing a money lesson that includes us emptying out her piggy bank to delve deeper into currency & paying for something she wants at the store with her own 💵

4️⃣ A @brain_quest workbook — I bought one last summer as well & we love incorporating it into little lessons at home!

Spent the day at 📍Murrieta Hot Springs & thoroughly enjoyed it there! 

While we have visited numerous fun hot springs with our daughter, it was definitely nice to be out of mom mode & experience our local hot springs while our little one was in school. From hot tubs and cold plunges to saunas & clay mud, we got to kick back & enjoy it all!

This dinner at Eastern Mediterranean restaurant @ammatoli in Long Beach, CA 📍deserves a place on the grid — because sometimes, a foodie mom simply *must* book the reservation as she drools looking at the menu online, all the while having zero confidence that her mini me will be willing to eat a morsel of food there. 

Our veggie-forward dishes, the ambiance & aesthetic, the service…all exquisite at Ammatolí! Swipe to see my daughter’s obsession - their mint tea! 🌿☕️ She too left a happy camper, with a belly full of tea and warm pita bread.

Celebrated the start to the spring season by baking with @imthecheftoo’s Bunny Bundts kit! 

I really let Cam take the reins with this one, and while it doesn’t look exactly (or anything 😂) like the box, the bundt cakes tasted delicious and we had a great time together! 

Use the code foodielovesfitness15 to get 15% off your first I’m the Chef Too Kit.
